How can I drop all tables from a database using manage.py and command line? Is there any way to do that executing manage.py with appropriate parameters so I can execute it from a .NET application?

There's no native Django management command to drop all tables. Both sqlclear and reset require an app name. However, you can install Django Extensions which gives you manage.py reset_db , which does exactly what you want (and gives you access to many more useful management commands).
Select all of the tables in your database in the Schema Browser clicking on the first table, holding Shift, and clicking on the last table. Right-click on the selected tables and select “Drop (n) Tables…”
As far as I know there is no management command to drop all tables. If you don't mind hacking Python you can write your own custom command to do that. You may find the sqlclear option interesting. Documentation says that ./manage.py sqlclear Prints the DROP TABLE SQL statements for the given app name(s).
Update: Shamelessly appropriating @Mike DeSimone's comment below this answer to give a complete answer.
./manage.py sqlclear | ./manage.py dbshell As of django 1.9 it's now ./manage.py sqlflush
